When you purchase resin for vat photopolymerization, do you ever think about where that resin came from? Even if there’s a brand name on the label that coincides with the printer you are using, there is a chance that the…

American firm Supernova has been selected to receive a $2 million subcontracting contract awarded by the American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation (ACMI). The goal of this agreement is to enable Supernova to advance 3D printing of military-grade energetic materials…

The success of a 3D print depends largely on the machines and materials you use, but that’s not all. The accessories and tools you have also play a key role in the 3D printing process. There are specific options that…

Thanks to machine learning and 3D printing, researchers at the University of Toronto have developed nano-architected materials that combine the strength of carbon steel with the lightness of polystyrene foam. 3D printing, which facilitates the creation of such innovative materials,…

Osteosarcomas are malignant bone tumors, and there are two to three new cases per million people per year. It is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, and 50 percent of cases occur in children and adolescents. The treatment of…

In recent years, there has been growing interest in 3D printing automation, particularly in print farms and professional environments looking to optimize their processes and reduce the need for intervention. The Vertigo MK1, currently campaigning on Kickstarter, promises to provide…

RAPID + TCT 2025 will be taking place in Detroit, Michigan this year between April 8 and 10. And as always, one of the highlights at the event for attendees will be the exhibitors who are showing the latest innovations…

Sometimes, you may want a part to be transparent for aesthetic reasons, and other times, transparency is a functional necessity. In either case,  3D printing’s flexibility in terms of design, materials and processes makes it possible to create parts with…

When most people think of making helmets safer, 3D printing technology is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, over the years we have seen numerous examples where additive manufacturing has contributed to better-fitting, more comfortable helmets,…

3D printing has had a profound impact on the medical community, and one area where the technology is really showing its usefulness is in pediatrics. Children have more variable anatomy than adults because their bodies are still developing, so when…

Since January 7th, 2025, wildfires have been devastating southern California: more than 37 thousand acres of land have been scorched, leaving 28 people dead and more than 10,000 homes and businesses destroyed. Facing the wreckage, questions arise. How can this…

Recent advances in materials science have led to new solutions in architecture and design. In a recent example, a team of researchers in California has developed polycatenated architectural materials (PAMs), which are capable of interweaving to form unique 3D structures.…
